Uzazi Village Doula Coop

Community Health Worker

At Uzazi Village our goal is to decrease black infant mortality and racially-based perinatal health inequities through the promotion of:

Physiologic Birth
Lowering the rates of unnecessary cesarean births by discouraging routine inductions and the “cascade of interventions “.

Breastfeeding
Fostering models of breast feeding support that are culturally appropriate and specific.

Perinatal Doulas
Utilizing specially trained doulas to work with mamas most at risk for disrupted/disfunctional labors. Ensuring that those who stand to benefit the most from doula support actually have access to them.
